2021 Map of Kishwaukee

About this map

The Rock River winds through this northern Illinois landscape, defining the topography south of Rockford as it passes through Kishwaukee and toward Byron. This 2021 survey details a region where long-established rural settlements and modern aviation intersect, featuring the Thrifty Acres Airport and the distinct community of Westfield Corners. Local history and genealogy are anchored by several notable burial sites, including Winnebago Cem in the north and the Mouth of Stillman Cem near the southern boundary. The map provides a clear view of the transition from the structured street grid of the Rockford area to the sprawling agricultural tracts and residential developments of Winnebago Co and Ogle Co. In the southwest, the waters of Lake Louise sit just north of the Byron city limits, while the surrounding road network like S Meridian Rd and Stillman Valley Rd connects the scattered hamlets of Alworth and Kishwaukee.
